Light golden color. Honey and beeswax nose. Surprisingly fresh palate. Balanced, excellent mid palate length and finish. A lovely Chard from a venerable estate known for making wines made for the long haul and this proves it

Quite supple and open knit on the nose with cool citrus fruit and salinity. Controlled fruit with a minty edge but restrained and delicious. Very good.

Rich and lush. Honeyed with confit lemon and a piercing intensity. Decent acidity. Pretty powerful.

Color-wise very developed but the oxidation is still in check.
